I am a animal lover. I have owned everything from hamster's to horse's. They all have been given the best care affordable by me. Vet checks regularly, the best food, regular grooming and unconditional love. I know some people over do it with their animal's and I that's their prerogative to do so. I know some people have those thought's as you say, "a dog is just a dog" or cat or horse etc. They have feelings too. They can get the same sicknesses we do. I would think that those people that feel that way would be better off with a stuffed animal.
We also need to be rational when it comes time for our pet's to be put down and not suffer needlessly no matter how much money we spend on them. We can not for our own selfish reasons forget our beloved companions and the love they've shown us. We need to do what is right for them when the time comes and let them go. That's the hardest part of being a pet owner!

My wife and I have to give our mutt the best care we can; the critter is so affectionate we have no doubt she'd do the same for us, were our roles reversed. Seriously, we wound up with a 50 pound lapdog that acts absolutely thrilled to have been adopted.

I know many people who spend a lot of money on boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and other big-ticket toys. From where I sit, none of these things add as much to one's life as a good dog.

antmarta and I were just on the phone this morning and my cat was purrrriing up a storm. Antmarta held the phone up to her cat Molly, so she could hear Charlie.

I wish someone could just see my vet bills. I have 9 house cats. Each one of them gets their yearly check up, and rabie shots. Plus I have 4 dogs. I used to have a dog that had to use a doggy wheelchair but I finaly had to put her down. That cart cost me $400.00 plus I breed German Shepherds so I have the etra bills for that AND to top it off I have 1 horse. But I must say that the horse vet bills are much less that the cat or dog bills.
What can I say.....? I dont have kids.
